My bum leg

Wednesday evening, I was minding my own business, walking back to my car in a parking lot after shooting some hoops with my little bro, when there was an excruciating pain in the back of my left leg. A wasp had stung me and it really, really hurt! Not to sound like a baby, but that was some pain! Well, by Friday my leg didn't even look like my leg anymore. It was swollen from the ankle to knee all the way around, and I had a HUGE bruise where I had been stung, and it really hurt to walk. Oh, and itched like crazy! I went to work anyway, figuring one of our doc's could give me advice on what to do, well the advice was to go to the E.R. Well, I didn't do that, but I did go to my regular doc that afternoon, and was placed on antibiotics. Apparently, I had an allergic reaction/infection going on. The fun part was I got a work release for the entire weekend, but the not so fun part was I had to sit around with my leg on a pillow with an icepack. My leg's feeling a ton better now, not so swollen, but still bruised, it doesn't hurt to walk anymore thank goodness, so back to work I go tomorrow. However, I am going to do my darnedest to stay away from any insects that fly and sting.
